35-year-old Amy Adams met actor and artist Darren Legallo in an acting class in 2001. The couple has been dating for six years and were engaged in 2008. This will be the first child for both.

“I got engaged the night before we wrapped ‘Julie and Julia,'” Adams told Parade.com. “It was funny because I was actually running lines from the script in my head while we were taking this romantic carriage ride in Central Park. I felt really bad for Darren. I was like, ‘You should get a re-do because you were cheated.’ All I was thinking about was my last day at work.”

Adams has had a banner year in 2009, starring in three films: Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian, Julie & Julia and Sunshine Cleaning. Adams stars next in the romantic comedy Leap Year, which is due for release on Jan. 8.
